JabirBSD: New kid in the block [Interview]

Jabir Technologies Foundation is proud to announce the first release of JabirBSD.
After a year of development, We decided to use BSD in our projects.
Now we have created JabirBSD as a rebrand of “FreeBSD” . after a while ,
we’ll fork it from FreeBSD and we’ll create a new BSD variant like
“DragonFly” .
Now you can download and test version “1.0″ of JabirBSD .

Yes, that's the "New kid in the block" of BSD based OS. I've been mailing with developer of this new OS and here is the result.

Q: Before going into details, could you please shortly introduce yourself and project?

A: Hi All. I'm Muhammadreza Haghiri , I was born in 1996 and I'm Linux/BSD user/developer.
I started Jabir Project at 2011 as a Desktop OS , and in 2012 , I
released the 1st Version of JabirOS (based on Ubuntu, Debian). After a
while we decided to use other open source operating systems for base.
and I started research about "BSD" family. in 2013 , I released JabirBSD
as a test and it will be turned to JabirOS (as a fork of FreeBSD).

Q: I see you are very young, what is your occupation now? A: My Occupation is now student. I study mathematics in high-school .

Q: What was the idea behind first JabirOS?

A: A
professional hobby first , but after a while I decided to optimize it
for beginners , and Jabir Project targets beginner and professional
users at a way.

Q: Later,
you changed from Linux to FreeBSD. What were the reasons for this
change? What do you find better with FreeBSD in comparison with Linux?

A: Ok ,
FreeBSD is better than Linux. because FreeBSD is more Unix compatible
than Linux . Also , I'm interested in BSD(Simplified) License.

Q: The first release, as your website says, is rebrand of FreeBSD. Later you want to fork it. What is the reason to fork it?

A: Many reasons. but main reasons are : A)JabirOS won't be a FreeBSD variant. It will be a desktop & server oriented BSD variant. B)We want to do many changes on kernel. I don't think FreeBSD team accepts these changes.

Q: Does this mean that your OS will be closed source software and you wont share it with community?

A: Team (Me,
Reza and Mohamad) don't decide to share sources or close them. but all
parts of FreeBSD aren't BSD Licensed. It has a lot of GPL Licensed parts
like gcc. But, I promise you we won't release a closed operating system. Ideas and Secrets are private , but sources will be public ;-)

Q: How will JabirBSD differ from other FreeBSD based OSes like PC-BSD, GhostBSD or DesktopBSD? How do you want to attract users?

A: JabirBSD
(or JabirOS) will actract users automatically. Because we optimized it
for all kind of users. As fact, we have a development method like "Arch
Linux" or "Slackware Linux".

Q: Slogan at your website says: 'Avoid the pain of everything that say “is not Unix”'. Can you explain what led to it?

A: "Every thing is not unix" means any Unix like project that say "*** is not Unix". can you guess what's that?

Q: Parts of your website and forums are in Persian. What will be the relationship of JabirBSD and Persian language?

A: Ha Ha! I'm Iranian and I speak Persian.

Q:
So primary JabirBSD language will be English or Persian? There are
speculations JabirBSD will be FreeBSD variant for Persian users.

A: Nope.
JabirOS isn't the "FreeBSD for Persian users.". Because "FreeBSD for
Persian users" doesn't need "Forking". It can be a pure FreeBSD (or
other FreeBSD re-spins like GhostBSD) with a collection of Persian
localizations. One of our targets is "BSD for Persian users" but it is
not our main target ;).
